xwindows to linux box
after firing up xwindows on a win2k laptop and doing a xhost + . Then i telnet to my redhat linux es box but am unable to run graphical applications.
The DISPLAY setting has been set. The error i get is emacs :Cannot connect to X server 10.1.4.104:0. Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'. Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit connections from your machine. This is what i do before i get the error [user@fred user]$xhost +barney [user@fred user]$telnet barney username: user password: [user@barney user]$setenv DISPLAY fred:0.0 [user@barney user]$emacs any ideas?? |
I'm not sure if telnet can handle X forwarding, i know SSH can and it's much better than telnet
man ssh found this on a really quick google - http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/XoverSSH/X-over-SSH2.html |
I agree with ethics.
On Win, you may want to use a popular SSH client like PuTTy. It supports X windows forwarding. Opening a telnet connection isn't exactly the same as logging in to the machine (as if you were logging in from Linux box onto another). |
